>>Meanwhile the US grows more polarized every day. Hate is rising, democracy is under threat, millions of Americans have swallowed the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Newspeak has taken over political discourse, cancel culture is destroying lives and careers, and we have a disgraced, indicted, venomous ex-president winning primaries despite openly declaring that he will be a dictator on day one and will govern on a platform of “retribution,” when he is not busy grabbing women by the pussy. His last attempt to overthrow the government failed on January 6, but some of his more ardent supporters are now saying that “next time” they will bring more guns. There are actually folks out there wanting civil war.
Maybe if he didn't make his world so horrible and miserable, someone might actually care to listen to the lessons it teaches. Unfortunately, all he was writing about is how everything is miserable, there is no hope and only escape from it all is through having sex with your hot twin brother or your younger underaged sister. And especially with everything he complains about politically, he gets completely moged by the entire Trails series, which actually has a hopeful message despite all the horrible things and conspiracies happening there. In short, I wish we had more characters like Elliot in fiction.
